If you could pick any 4 ships in the game to pirate with as a roaming gang, what would you choose?
I am honestly struggling with this question and have no idea.
A group of force recons might be pretty cool, like two falcons, one arazu and a rapier? But then perhaps you should have a dedicated scanner like a buzzard for catching mission runners? Also, those 4 I suggested would struggle for dps.
On the other hand I can see how one interceptor combined with 3 stealth bombers could bring a BS to its knees, but it's very situational. |

I would say you will need:
- Heavy Tacker: Covops Loki - It's usually my role. - Scout ,Warpin, Prober, ECM - Falcon - DPS Core: Proteus with 24km range Scram and Machariel ( 1500 DPS with 50km will end most fights within the heartbeat )
We use that setup for a while and it works very good.

3 canes and a drake. Send the drake in as bait, if no-one takes it, kill the drake for being awful. Op success ^_^
On a more serious note, 4 "somethings" that can tank gate guns for some time will give you the widest target selection, else youll be relying on catching people in deadspace or belts which limits your opportunities by comparison. Not to mention the ballache of having to sit on your hands for 15 mins if you daren't or can't risk moving systems under gcc in your ship. If you are roaming you want to be able to roam.
As for the ships themselves that's entirely dependent on how you and your gang fly (brawler, kiter, guerilla etc), what you have the skills to fly well, your budget, targets, and your modus operandi. Do you want to sit at range and poke people, kiting them away if they aggro back? Or do you aim to warp to 0 on something and have a good ol' rumble? So on and so on. It's kind of impossible to suggest something until it's known what you plan to do with it. No gang is a fit-for-all, they are all situational.
Battlecruisers are a good starting area to find what kind of tactic works for you at low cost, they have a wide engagement profile and are pretty disposable, then you can start swapping shinys like recons and t3s into the mix once you have confidence working as a small group and understand your strengths and weaknesses. |

As Mehashi 'Kho said, Low Sec demands that you have something that can tank the Gate guns.
If you are limited to a 4 person gang I would suggest 3 asb-fitted cyclones and a dual prop fleet stabber for tackle and interception.
In 0.0 I would always suggest something fast if you have no logistic back up...HACs in every shade of grey or 4 Cynabals... |

or
1. Sabre 2. Daredevil 3. Vagabond/Cynabal 4. Vagabond/Cynabal
Personally I'd prefer the second option (Daredevil 90% webs, GO!!!) - but without a Falcon the Sabre would probably not survive the trip. I'm a NPC corp alt, any argument I make is invalid. |

Too easy.
The answer is 4 Tengu's, of course.
At least, until the next patch, anyway.

2 gank battlecruisers -- Hurricane or Tornado

Its scary how much people would waste 1 spot of 4 on a falcon, kinda tells you how OP ECM really is.
My personal choice would be:
1 arazu or rapier (watch out though a bit squishy to gateguns) 3 nano bc's Ive deleted this sig 500 times now! - Sarah xCalibre |

No, Bunny was right. The frigate class are called covert ops, the cruiser class are called recons, and the battleship class are called black ops. I have a lover, her name is EVE. I see her every night and all she asks in return is that I have a pilot's license. |

LOL-worthy, but I've seen it in action:

I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all. |

^^ This and i might add that i'm fairly disgusted about so many others suggesting Falcon. Nano BC could be Drake, Cane. Right now single x-large ASB Canes are pretty nice. And don't use Cyclones (Cyclone is like Prophecy or Maller, he my second name is bait) no one will engage you if they don't have at least 10 peeps. |

Welcome to being 3-shot by gate guns.
One of the most effective gangs ive been ganked with consisted of a bait drake, 2x tengu and 1x loki.
I'd be inclined to swap a tengu for a falcon tbh. |
